The winds of change are a blowin'

There are times in life when change is hard.

And there are times in life when something's just gotta give or things are gonna explode.

This is such a time.

The winds of change are a blowin!

Papa has a new job!
Well, maybe it would be more accurate to say Papa has another job. He'll be working 2 jobs for a while, until we figure out if this new business opportunity is a good match for our family.
Papa is completely overwhelmed and busy and exhausted and giddy and excited and full of purpose and hope! And there's nothing quite like seeing your man so excited and driven with a purpose that he believes in with all his heart! Especially after I've watched him struggle so hard to provide.

After several years of trying to keep ourselves afloat, directly related to the down turn of the economy, we have hope!

That is exciting to hear. I do hope this 2nd job works out for Tim and your family. Rick and I have a similar struggle. He works for himself, so if he is not counseling, he is not earning money. It hits him so hard. I never realized the impact it had on him until this past year. Enough of my ramblings, good luck!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness. Kindness in your face. Kindness in your eyes. Kindness in your smile." ~Mother Teresa
